  Yeah, freedom has become vanishingly rare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder how many male, middle aged US filmmakers regularly call it a "director's cut" when carving up the thanksgiving turkey for their family.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they need to be male and/or middle aged? Couldn’t anyone who is a director and carving a turkey make this dumb joke?

  Ghost In The Shell, kinda

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If most of us believe what we're told, if we are obedient that way, and keep an eye on our possibly-deviant neighbors, and those neighbors know that they are being watched, that's good enough.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good enough for a dystopian nightmare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking GPT-5 News!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at the date

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Model UN is political D&D.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Roleplaying? Check

  Yep, pretty much checks out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global EV market faces major shakeup as Tesla recedes, BYD ascends⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Hyundai Kona Electric I got used for under 20K with less than 30k miles on jt. Has buttons on the steering wheel, buttons and knobs for the infotainment setup (in addition to the touch screen), etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I bet nuclear disarmament would happen pretty fast if the first time they fired of a nuke it would look like a giant pussy instead of a cock⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IDK, C4 is usually square and people blow shit up with it all the time. You sure people don’t just enjoy the thrill of wielding destructive power?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC chair says we’re too dependent on GPS and wants to explore ‘alternatives’.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Triangulation could be more efficient than GPS, in terms of energy use and such

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC and Trump announce $100 billion investment in the US, including three fabs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TSMC already has a functioning US fab

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC and Trump announce $100 billion investment in the US, including three fabs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More or less. It’s the CHIPS act

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's infinitely worse to be the oldest you'll ever be than the youngest you'll ever be.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dying is probably worse than being born, but both kinda suck

  Weird, I heard it was piss

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re on mobile, the app Streamyfin for Android and iOS is fantastic. Handles downloads, transcoding, great UI, and it even integrates with additional third-party tools that enhance it further, like Jellyseer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨START A COMPUTER CLUB⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My Lemmy instance, sdf.org, is a computer club founded in the 1980s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I find it funny that American republicans seem to want a king, when the definition of republicanism is a government without a king.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately they’ve become immune to irony

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That was the stuff you needed to do to do things like: play video games on your computer, get online and chat with people, hell even use your PC to write an essay. You didn’t necessarily have to go as far as they described to do that stuff, but you had to do some of it.

  Nowadays there’s no equivalent. You don’t have to at least kinda understand the filesystem to play minecraft on your iPad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Welcome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We like getting triggered. We seek it out.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Triggered in the colloquial sense of “upset”, yes.

  If you’d ever seen someone with PTSD fully freak out you wouldn’t use the term so lightly, I suspect. Nobody wants to lose ever more time reliving the worst moments of their life. Nobody seeks that shit out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoneWild was once about people feeling wild and posting pictures of it. Now it's just OnlyFans sale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Enshittification Capitalism has ruined everything.

  FTFY

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Can Now Replicate Itself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was worried this meant it could program and/or train a copy of itself from scratch, but this is just the basic “copy/paste your own files” case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any OMV + SnapRAID/MergerFS users here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use OMV but I do use MergerFS + SnapRAID. Works great so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blahaj? I'd be curious what led to this decision.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interestingly, they list us as a linked instance, so the block is from our side for some reason

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It may be prudent to restrict new registrations or require admin approval on new accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do like the member only idea. At least it’ll require that spammers donate before causing trouble and getting banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It may be prudent to restrict new registrations or require admin approval on new accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org, the user in question is @Mikal8871@lemmy.sdf.org. They created an NSFW community, didn’t tag it as such, and have been spamming porn onto the server with missing NSFW tags. 99.9% chance it’s the same bad actor who just got banned. Please ban them and maybe put a freeze on new accounts till we can add more admins willing to ban bad actors like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It may be prudent to restrict new registrations or require admin approval on new accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the correct term is spammed. We’re being spammed by a single new user, who is presumably the recently banned nazi throwing a tantrum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This.

  I’ve been much happier abandoning games and shows even if I’m 95% done just because they stopped being fun. Completion is overrated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you begin the Voyager episode "Spirit Folk" at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or at xx:49:35 and see if it’s right on the hour when it happens at any hour of the day

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bannerlord finally has some cool mods for it nowadays

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, for instance the semi-ubiquitous “small TV with a vhs player built in” that was in a ton of mini-vans and kids’ rooms well into the early 2000s only supported analog cable/antenna signals, so it would give the black and white static when there was no signal.
